Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.
I was reading about Tetris in a PDF 4 days ago, and wondered if Doom would be possible.
- At this rate I should be playing Mario 64 in a PDF this weekend
  
  Soon we’ll be playing crysis in a pdf
At this point it is safe to say that doom is the most cross platform software to ever exist.
- Technically, "hello world" is number one.
- Pretty sure curl is the actual winner here
  
  what a gross response
At this point, Skyrim and Doom are both competing with each other to port into the most preposterous items.
- Skyrim has nothing on Doom. The crazy Skyrim "ports" aren't ports at all but just the opening video.
  Doom is on everything with a screen and a CPU.

But can it run Crysis?
